If answers are removed, I need to do bug report again. Returning answers altogether save me for daily rate-limit, but not returning Answers save you bandwidth, so we definitely need answer=true/false

Yes, there are some cases where I can see it'd be useful to have answer=true/false. So I'm seconding that.

This looks like a consequence of some cache optimizations that recently went out. It will be improved/fixed in the near future, thought the site and api will always run the risk of being out of sync to some degree.

Oh I forgot to add I had also checked the API against the questions page and it didn't match up either. yesterday I was just looking at the main SO page and it matched the API, but today it doesn't. According to the API documentation sort=active is the default on the /0.8/questions.

@Smark - i think we are saying the same thing - active does not represent the insertion order of questions which is what OP is/was after or am I misunderstanding?
